Sorry you are wrong this time and I jsut tried it to make sure of my earlier
statment.

===> From the docs:
  Any number of triangle and/or smooth_triangle statements can be used and
each of those triangles can be individually textured by assigning a texture
identifier to it. The texture has to be declared before the mesh is parsed.
It is not possible to use texture definitions inside the triangle or smooth
triangle statements. This is a restriction that is necessary for an efficient
storage of the assigned textures. See " Triangle and Smooth Triangle" for
more information on triangles.
